jln115: I actually know quite a number of them and they doing well , which defeats the rhetoric chanted by black Monday protesters " no Boer no pap " lol. 90% ? , like I said before , I don't subscribe to afriforum propaganda. And whether or not they endup selling the land , so what ? It is their land , they can do what ever they want with it. By the way , you don't get to direct things here. |

Lionessza:If you cant stick by the rules then you'll get banned, simple as that.....All of us(SAns) here want a prosperous South Africa for all SAns, we only differ how we going to get there......So keep your posts civil!! Majority of commercial farmers are white, and South Africa being a net importer of food, it would devastated the economy and the food security if there were no Boere. Yes I agree it's their land and they can do what they like with it....however if they decide that they take the money instead of the land, that means the land is thus state owned land.......and 2/3rds of the 30 billion hectares the Government owns is unproductive. patches689: |

jln115: I have no issues with the average white South African , they don't own the land in question so I have no reason to wish them death. I'm talking about those who own or manage farms , raping and killing innocent children of farm workers. I am in total support of having them necklaced . No , the police and courts will take another 24 years to resolve the issue. I support jungle justice in instances like this lol. Me and zuma are the biggest Patriots you will ever find in South Africa lol. The unpatriotic idiots are the ones who want to compensated for their criminal activities . |

jln115: Lol, I didn't see those rules before . A prosperous South Africa will only be possible, once the issue is resolved. Having more players in the Agri sector will help boost the economy and get people off grants . Yes , majority are white, with stolen land. The Boeres are only hyping themselves, and the whole "food security " noise is getting old, more like the " with this radical economic transformation process, investors will run ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Lionessza:1. Yes i agree fully!! The land issue should be resolved, hence i've supported fair,efficient and effective land reform policies as set out by both the DA and Afriforum. 2. If these so called white farmers have stolen someones land, then YOU as a patriotic SAn should open a case of theft by your nearest police station. 3. Both are a fact though, populist policies would ruin the economy....that's a fact. 4. Farming is a business, and a people start a business to make money, nothing wrong with farmers earning money through farming if done legally!! |

jln115: 1. Anything from afriforum will never work for South Africa. Afriforum, soliditary, and them are biased . 2. The implementation of the the ANC policies will solve this. 3. Lol, let it be ruined . We will recover after dealing with the root problems. After all , the ANC inherited a messed up economy and we recovered. The hostage situation must come to an end. 4. Yes, they do. Now let's give others a chance to make money off their land too. |

Re: Land Reform In South Africa - Discuss! by Nobody: 10:18am On Feb 26, 2018 |
Lionessza:1. Opinion=/= fact.......most of the things you say is biased btw! 2. IMO it wont, in fact it will decimate property rights and ruin the economy....we've seen this happen in Zim 3. Zimbabwe never recovered, in fact they are bringing white farmers back now, who were evicted from their farms just to restart there agri sector. 3.1 yes the ANC inherited a pretty much destroyed economy and rebuild it with great economic policies, and land reform without compensation wasn't one of them!! Also you can't knowingly destroy your economy and simply build it up again as you claim....it doesn't work like that. once it's destroyed everybody suffers even more than they had! 4. I agree.....hence i support fair,efficient and effective land reform policies! |

Lionessza: Unfortunately in the real world simply saying something is a fact doesn't make it one unless backed up with substantial proof...... You say that Afriforum and DAs land reform policies won't work...... But you haven't even bothered to read them!! 783 corruption charges is quite telling!! |
Re: Land Reform In South Africa - Discuss! by Nobody: 3:55pm On Feb 26, 2018 |
Lionessza:The whole agricultural sector was destroyed..... Zimbabwe went from the bread basket of Africa to having half the population starve....that can't be blamed on sanctions since SA pre94 was also heavily sanctioned by the whole world ... Yet the argri was still able to produce enough food for everyone The whole point of a government is to improve the living standards of the people...... It is literally impossible to improve anything with a destroyed economy. So your logic of destroying then rebuilding the economy imo makes no sense. |

jln115: That's a very common narrative-pity its untrue. The media story about efficient white commercial farms is a half truth at best: at independence in 1980, 700,000 black farmers were squeezed onto 53% of the farmland, while 6,000 white farmers had 46% (and often the best land at that). Yet when Zimbabwe achieved majority rule, one third of white farmers were insolvent and a third were just about breaking even. Only 5% (300 people!) could be described as ‘very profitable’3 researchers made field trips and concluded ‘In the biggest land reform in Africa, 6,000 white farmers have been replaced by 245,000 Zimbabwean farmers. Zimbabwe’s land reform has not been neat, and huge problems remain. But 245,000 new farmers have received land, and most of them are farming it. They have raised their own standard of living; have already reached production levels of the former white farmers; and with a bit of support, are ready to substantially increase that production.’https://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/has-zimbabwes-land-reform-actually-been-a-success-a-new-book-says-yes/ I'm not expecting BBC/CNN/SKY to inform us, though. 2 Likes

jln115: You can't just dismiss their findings! They spent more time on the ground than agenda driven parachute Anglo zionist journos! I actually read through your links and here's what stands out:drought. Zim has suffered a succession of droughts since the early 2000s that frankly makes even a Kenyan wonder. Fyi every 5-7 years here the rains fail but Zimbos have suffered more than the norm. In fact IIRC,the latest drought followed on the heels of floods last year. Imo,this isn't normal and strongly suggests weather warfare-I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so: A state-run newspaper in Zimbabwe has suggested the UK and US are to blame for droughts in southern Africa.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4630443.stm Mind you this was over a decade ago,2005 to be exact. These droughts aren't normal! |
Re: Land Reform In South Africa - Discuss! by Nobody: 9:42am On Feb 27, 2018 |
kikuyu1:Yes some of them are drought related but not all, regardless SA had droughts that where even worst in terms of rain fall, in 2015-16 yet we never had a food shortage?? Also they might have spent more time on the ground than some journos, but the UN were literally feeding 25% of the Nation.....that's very well documented, you just have to go on to the UNs website and see for your self!! Weather warfare?? bro really? do you read before you post? |

Lionessza:- Nothing wrong with disagreeing, we all have different opinions and there's nothing wrong with that, but at least now we can have a civil debate about this, So anyway my question to you is...Ignoring the sanction that collapsed Zims economy, what actually caused the Agri sector to collapse? bare in mind that pre94 SA was heavily sanction not just by the west but also the east, yet the agri sector never collapsed? -I agree 100% i do think we can fix this broken economy left by Zuma, and IMO CR is the man to do it. |
Re: Land Reform In South Africa - Discuss! by Jkay187(m): 12:14pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
jln115: You do realize that sanctions against apartheid SA was a fallacy, because most of those sanctions were bypassed by the very countries who implemented them while some leaders like UK's former old hag prime minister Margaret Thatcher openly supported the NP policies at times. Zim only starved because most of there imports are coming in by trains and trucks, because it has no port to directly import goods and the fact that its finance ministers mismanaged there currency to a point where they just printed money. It was never the land issue that made Zim digress it was simple bad management of its economy. I must say that your assertion that SA agri sector will fall if there is expropriation is also not true, because the agri industry has already not been performing for close to 16years now because of SA's following of open market policies without protecting farmers that led to dumping of EU farming products that cut farming in SA by 35% already. Its not just the prerogative of the gov to grow the economy and get people out of poverty, but its also the private sector and especially those who benefited from the past regime to lend a hand in nation building. As long as there will be some organizations who resists transforming and gov not implementing good policies they already have and stop there corrupt practices these issues of land reform will continue. 1 Like |
Re: Land Reform In South Africa - Discuss! by Jkay187(m): 12:48pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
jln115: The answer is simple SA farmers survived because it relied on cheap slave labor. Farm workers had no labor rights worked long hours without decent working conditions or living standards. Till today some of those conditions still exists just go look at the Western Cape, Northern Cape "dop system" that has had devastating effects on farming communities and has led to crippling social health problems. Your view on Zim is mostly sanctioned on a Western media ideology and lacks substance. The issues in Zim is much more complex and it also borders on foreign interference and economic sabotage. We can even conclude that the West especially the UK took Zims stance on land reform so personal that it even covertly sponsored an illegal coup at some point involving British nationals. My point is that we should judge Zim and SA differently, because it has profoundly different sets of conditions economically and politically. Scare mongering just to drive a certain political narrative won't give us here debating the issue of land reform in SA any consensus. 2 Likes |

jln115: jln115: CALM YOUR TITTAYS,SON! Weather warfare has been a reality for at least half a century beginning in the Vietnam war. Here's an excerpt from the history channel on how the US engineered worsened weather above the Ho Chi Minh trail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpr5JVWjIW4 Operation Popeye (Project Controlled Weather Popeye / Motorpool / Intermediary-Compatriot) was a highly classified weather modification program in Southeast Asia during 1967–1972. The cloud seeding operation during the Vietnam War ran from March 20, 1967 until July 5, 1972 in an attempt to extend the monsoon season, specifically over areas of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. [/b]The operation was used to induce rain and extend the East Asian Monsoon season in support of U.S. government efforts related to the War in Southeast Asia Fyi,that's wiki! Ain't no easily dismissed 'conspiracy website,' but the nets largest resource-srsly,familiarise yourself with the ways of the world. Fifty cloud seeding experiments were conducted with the result that 82% of the clouds produced rain within a brief period after having been seeded. [b]It was claimed that one of the clouds drifted across the Vietnam border and dropped nine inches of rain on a US special forces camp over a four-hour period. After the successful completion of the test phase, Project Popeye transitioned from an experiment to an operational program of the U.S. Defense departmentThe same people,the Anglo Zionists,have decided to make an example of a 3rd world nation defying their dictates in the DRC and regarding land appropriation and[b] suffers a serious drought every 2-3 years;and you think its coincidence?![/b] Imagine what they can do now!

Lionessza: 1. Every group is biased, thats their job - to agitate/negotiate for their constitutions. What you dont seem to know is that Agriforum and AgriSA both represent many thousands of black commercial farmers - they too will get badly hit by this new policy. When you wipe $15 billion off the bank's books, you can bet your bottom dollar that aint nobody gunna be putting capital into Agri. 2. Those same problems have never worked, ever, they have been implimented many many times across the world. The end result is always the same. 3. We will not recover. Cast your eye across Africa - no nation has yet truly recovered from the chaos such policies have caused. 4. How will replacing 40 or 50 thousand white famers with 40 or 50 thousand black farmers change anything? Unemployment stands at roughly 15 million people. 2 Likes |

kikuyu1: Thats bollocks though, I saw the interveiw with the Author of the book. She argues that it was a "success" because she refused to determin success/failure according to "capitalist standards". Ie: Old communist is happy that ideological goals are met, failing to understand the true role of modern mechanised agriculture - which is that of cash crops designed to be traded on foreign markets and thus drawing capital into your own economy - capital which is then used to develop secondary industries which have a direct correlation with increased standards of living, because, you know, we dont want people struggling in the feilds, we would prefer to move them into cities/factories/offices. 2 Likes |
Re: Land Reform In South Africa - Discuss! by patches689: 2:40pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
Jkay187: Where to begin with this? Its tough when people dont understand basic free-market economics... The economic collapse in Zim was mainly due to the fact that capital freaked the fvck out when the land invasions happened (for good reason) and people stopped investing/withdrew capital and dumped Zim dollars, stocks and bonds into the market - in other-words, billions of USD evaporated over night. Zimbabwe has received (according to the world bank) HALF A BILLION DOLLARS IN AID, you cant say they are "under sanctions". Second, yes, it is good that RSA has the economic policy it has with regards to farming. Not subsidising agri means that: 1. Taxes are not spent paying people to do their jobs (badly) 2. Open trade brings in food products cheaper, this means that people spend less on food, this means that people have more money to spend on other things - this leads to growth in other sectors. Equally because of #1, government can spend capital on other more meaningful things or they could cut taxes (as if) thus further improving the effect outlined in #2. No, it is governments job to do neither. If you just leave private enterprise alone, it will grow and that will get people out of poverty. It really is that simple. India and China did just that - they got government out of the way - and as a result about a billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty in just 30 years. Finally, I fail to see how it is "white peoples responsibility" to have their assets stripped from them for no other reason than they are white. I also fail to see how stripping white people of their rights will lead to "nation building" 1 Like |

kikuyu1:Bro just no ![]() ![]() ![]() Dude I know what cloud seeding is!! We've been doing it in SA for years.....unfortunately cloud seeding is less effective in an already arid country since for cloud seeding to work you already need rain clouds in the air....cloud seeding for the most part only increases the rain fall in an already forming storm... And only by a few percent!! Hence it couldn't /can't work in CT. Also the cloud seeding operation in Vietnam had a minimal effect.... I'll even go as far to say it had 0 effect and was a complete waste of money!! between 1968-72 when operation popeye took place the average rain fall barely increased, if increased at all!! Dude did you just seriously say "Fyi,that's wiki! Ain't no easily dismissed 'conspiracy website,' but the nets largest resource-srsly" Fyi,that's wiki! Ain't no easily dismissed 'conspiracy website,' but the nets largest resource-srsly" do you know what Wikipedia is?? Do you know that any person can just go edit a Wikipedia site as he wishes? Hence Wikipedia can never under any circumstances be used as an academic source?? Lastly Zimbabwe and SA suffered similar weather patterns in the last few years.... Yet you've never heard our government making ridiculous claims about weather manipulation. It's a fact that Southern Africa is getting dryer due to climate change.... So the droughts you're talking about is not surprising at all!! Neither is it a coincidence. |
